Production cross sections from the bombardment of natural Mo with 1.85-GeV protons

Description

91Nb has been recently suggested as a candidate for a cosmic-ray chronometer. To use 91Nb as such, the relative production cross sections of 91Nb and 91Nb in the cosmic rays must be known. These isotopes are produced in the cosmic rays by spallation reactions of Mo and heavier elements on interstellar hydrogen. We have bombarded a natural Mo target with 1.85-GeV protons from the LBL Bevatron. The cross sections for the production of 91,92Nb and 29 other isotopes with 75 ≤ A ≤ 97, 35 ≤ Z ≤ 42 will be presented and compared with theoretical calculations
